Builders must love Ross!
LOL yeh he has a reputation for sure!
Good builders definitely love him
Good to see the toilet not plumbed to the hot water supply,the doors don't fall off,the windows don't fall out,until opened,gas doesn't blow out of the sink taps,the windows aren't cracked,the stairs are in the right place,and all there,no doors opening onto blank walls,the drain not full of concrete,and the letter box seven feet off the ground,door upside down! Request second opinion in case of unfair assessment.
I think the paint was back to front.
Very Helpful for first home buyers!!
Thank you for posting informative video .
At 4:00 the socket is to close over lapping the cooker top this is not to code needs to be 300mm away to the left or the right
Thank you 🙏🏽
thank you for sharing valuable information.
Very informative, i have learned allot from this. Thank you very much
Thanks Mat, glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you very much it's really informative
Amazing video
Thanks guys, good video
Thanks Jean_Marc for your comments and for stopping by
Really good points, thank you.
Very helpful !
Roof plumbers would have to be the most dodgy trade going.
awesome !
Thanks! Godfrido
They’re all fair enough things to pull up
thx. this helps
with all the clearly visible faults due to sloppy work then just imagine what the bits look like that you can't see!
Get your boots on mate
Super helpful! Thanks. Quick question, if I were conducting my inspection, would there be any issue if I went around and marked, as shown with the blue tape or a post-it note, the issues? Or would the builder make note of those? Thanks! (First new-build home inspection coming up soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻)
Hi Kristin, you sure can go around before final handover and mark out any defects or faults. If you don’t feel comfortable doing that you can get another person or engage a contractor like Ross, in this video. They are usually either building inspectors or handover specialists.
Thanks for watching!
Scotty.
You are supposed to utilise specialist devices to carry out inspections such as a moisture detector and thermal camera, etc.
Scott Chen that’s him showing the issues he found she he DID the inspection
That is not required in any sop I know
its 1.5m for viewing paint defects! not 2m.
A pretty good job on the kitchen, the rangehoods got a dent in it!
It should be less than 2m for these dodgy builders these days!
just the first 2:30 would raise so many red flags that a 110% inspection on the entire build, would be the least the Inspector would do.
I'm wondering if inspectors check the insulation of the property, e.g. heat bridges and the insulation property of the walls themselves. Thank you!
Hi Janos, checking insulation will depend on the location of accessible opening and the type. Checking roof insulation will be easier than walls due to ability to access. It is better to check walls during construction so if you can’t get their, your builders rep will be able to take photos at each stage.
Thanks for your comment.
@@RealPropertyAdvice thank you!
I've seen a thermal image camera pick up a square of missing insulation
Cupboard over the hob surely that’s a fire risk ? Is it an extractor pretending ? He missed that socket.
Hi. Is your service available in Adelaide?
Imagine this being your job. Fuck that
Are you a dodgy builder by any chance?
So who pays for the Independent Inspector? The Builder?
You do. 🇬🇧
My builder doesn't allow any third party inspection before the handover is completed. What do I do?
Sorry to hear that Rafael. If you are in Australia you can approach the relevant authority who oversees the building industry, and the likes of Master Builders and HIA. Or else you can simply book your handover and make sure your inspector is there with you. Would be interesting to see the builder try to stop you bring someone along for a look.
do you check for drummy tiles?
Hey Inner West, yes we always have the tiles in all areas checked. Thanks for joining the conversation.
My god who is the builder of that property.
Gee it was a while ago now! Not sure but would have to check the files. Was a good property to film for this video though!
can you pss us the contact info for this inspector?
painter be a little piss of if that was pen on the wall
Tiles in the shower why not fix them to the top instead of leaving a big gap? You wouldn't have any problems with condensation running behind the tiles.
Yes agreed. We all prefer full height tiles. Still and option for some builders and people choose the ‘cheaper’ option..
@@RealPropertyAdvice to l
Christ, bloody god job he doesn't come to the UK and have a look at the brand new House that get thrown up here!
Good to know Alistair. I will tell Ross to not bother going to visit the motherland!
Cheers
Scotty
When my new home was built, I noticed it was built in the wrong place, in fact it should been across the road, when I told the builder what massive bellend he had done, he told me to move the house myself, so naturally thats what I did, and the builder, he also joined under the new house in which he will be resting forever.
That rubbish single glazed windows which don't give you any sound proofing.
I don't miss Oz at all
Chillout Fles. Depends on location will make a big difference to the requirement for double glazing. However, i agree with you, it is always nice to have and is way better for energy efficiency. Thanks for stopping by.
@@RealPropertyAdvice ok, no worries.
Is it just me or are cupboards right above the gas stove a dumb idea?
Cassidy West agreed
Pretty standard in the states I don’t know where this is. Lol.
Not a dumb idea, same in our place. Thats where we put our ingredients for cooking. Very handy.
@@lovetvphils5851 I’d be reaching over and catching myself on fire, setting them alight and dropping jars into the boiling chip pan.
If a defect cant is seen at 2m but can be seen at 1.5m surely it is still a defect? So, therefore, using that principle you would be paying for crap workmanship with no recourse? That seems a pretty crap Aussie rule. Why wouldn't you just tile the whole wall in the shower wet area?
At 6:40 the gap between the hand rail and the wall/window sill is to small again not to code you missed all that.
Are you wearing eye makeup?
Strong eye area genetics
Not sure who you are asking, but I can assure you neither Ross or Scotty wear eye makeup? Are you trying to sell us some?
